Medical imaging plays a vital role in modern clinical practice, providing valuable information to physicians for diagnosis, image-guided surgeries, and more. Due to the high precision and reproducibility of robotic techniques, the involvement of robots can help overcome some limitations in conventional imaging methods, such as intra- and inter-operator variations. With the rise of machine learning, the development of autonomous imaging systems has gained increasing attention.
To create intelligent systems that work robustly in unknown environments, fundamental research is continuously emerging, exploring novel approaches such as visual servoing, shared control, object segmentation, scene understanding, and learning from experts’ experiences.
The goal of this workshop is to bring together active research groups and clinicians to share the latest technological achievements in robot-assisted medical imaging. By gathering world-class technical and clinical researchers, the workshop will also address remaining challenges beyond technical developments, including ethical issues and clinical acceptance.
